How to grow Rhyncolaelia digbyana | Self-Watering & #leca | Cool winters | #CareCollab

SHE IS BACK! TWO BLOOMS THIS TIME AROUND, FIRST TIME & WHAT A SHOWSTOPPER INDEED! This #orchid never has given me any trouble at all. I do worry during the winters here though, seeing as she is a hot grower and my indoor winter temperatures are far too low for her comfort zone. so, if you grow in a similar set up, and are wondering how to keep the root ball from deteriorating without going by the 'wet / dry' cycle, then this video will explain what I do, to make this gorgeous species form #Honduras #Belize et al thrive and bloom.
